….. condoles with the victims assuring that justice will prevail.
The Zamfara State Government strongly condemns the recent inhuman killings of innocent captives by a notorious terrorist gang operating in parts of the state. This barbaric act is yet another reminder of the evil that these criminals represent.
On behalf of His Excellency, Governor Dauda Lawal, we extend our deepest condolences to the families and communities affected by this tragedy. Your pain is our pain, and we assure you that justice will prevail.
This is contained in a statement signed by the state commissioner of information and culture Mahmud Mohammed Dantawasa made available to newsmen in Gusau
Government’s Position: Zero Tolerance for Terrorists
Governor Lawal describes this attack as cowardly, desperate, and a sign that the terrorists are losing ground. The Government will not rest until every criminal involved in these atrocities is captured or neutralized.
To the terrorists: Your time is up. Zamfara will no longer be your hiding place. The full weight of law and force will crush every network of violence across our state.
Ongoing Security Operations and Achievements
The State Government under Governor Lawal has launched unprecedented security measures:
● Recent successes include the elimination of top commanders and their fighters in sustained clearance operations. This is proof that the era of impunity is over.
● Hundreds of operational vehicles have been provided to security agencies, including the Community Protection Guards (CPG), to improve rapid response and intelligence-driven action.
● Intensified security patrols are ongoing in vulnerable areas, with a new strategy focused on offensive operations to dismantle bandit hideouts permanently.
What We Are Doing Now
Pursuing the killers with combined security forces – there is no escape for them.
Rescuing remaining captives and providing full medical and psychological support for survivors.
Enhancing local intelligence to detect and crush any terror attempt before it happens.
Message to Citizens
Do not give in to fear. These attacks are acts of desperation by criminals who know their end is near. The Zamfara State Government, in collaboration with security agencies, is winning this war. Together, we will restore peace and dignity to our land.
Governor’s Words to the People
Governor Dauda Lawal assures every citizen: “We will not surrender an inch of Zamfara to criminals. They will either repent or be eliminated. This is our pledge, and we will keep it.”
To the grieving families, we share your sorrow and pray for strength and healing. To the good people of Zamfara, remain united and vigilant. Report suspicious activities, and together, we will defeat evil.
